TICONDEROGA, N.Y. —

North Country Community College was awarded $55,000 in state funding to expand its Ticonderoga campus, officials said.

The money will allow officials to explore the possibility of converting a former Lowe’s building or another building into an applied technology center. A new building would allow NCCC to expand degree programs in Ticonderoga and serve up to 300 students, officials said.

“I am excited to work with our faculty in exploring new possibilities for academic program development in Ticonderoga, and how these programs would accelerate job growth in the region,” President Steve Tyrell said.

NCCC faculty, other colleges, private investors in the region, and municipal leaders in Ticonderoga will participate in the feasibility study.
